Abstract

Silicone-thermoplastic polymer reactive blends and copolymer products are prepared using economical post-reactor reactive mixing, e.g., extrusion. The procedure is based on the ring-opening polymerization of cyclic siloxanes within a thermoplastic polymer matrix. In a preferred mode, the thermoplastic polymer is a polyolefin, optionally containing silane groups that are available for reaction with the silicone polymer that is formed in situ. The resulting materials provide hybrid performance that can extend the range of applications beyond those which are served by thermoplastic polymers or silicones alone, or their physical blends.

Method
Method of the present invention is to prepare the reactively blending thing of organosilicon and thermoplastic polymer and the method for multipolymer by the ring-opening polymerization of annular siloxane in polymer thermoplastic matrix.The method itself can be followed a kind of at least three kinds of routes.In the first route, annular siloxane is joined in the thermoplastic polymer annular siloxane experience polymerization and form the reactively blending thing of the siloxanes (that is, organosilicon polymer) of thermoplastic polymer and polymerization under open loop condition.The thermoplastic polymer components of this reactively blending thing is can the Application standard crosslinking technological randomly crosslinked, for example, if thermoplastic polymer is polyolefine, polyolefine is contacted under crosslinked condition with superoxide.The open loop of annular siloxane can be promoted through using ring opening catalyst.
In the second route, annular siloxane (is for example joined silane-functionalised thermoplastic polymer under open loop condition, polyolefine) in, annular siloxane stands polymerization and is formed with organosilicon polymer, and then the reaction of the silane group of organosilicon polymer and thermoplastic polymer forms reactive copolymerization product thus.The necessary condition of reaction between the silane group of promotion organosilicon polymer and thermoplastic polymer is basic identical with the necessary condition of open loop that promotes annular siloxane.As in the first route, the open loop of annular siloxane can promote with ring opening catalyst, typically after reclaiming reactive copolymerization product from reaction mixture, can make polymer thermoplastic matrix crosslinked.
In the third route, with annular siloxane and silane crosslinker under the condition of open loop and Silane Grafted (in this case, the condition of open loop is a kind of condition and identical with the condition of Silane Grafted) join in the thermoplastic polymer, the annular siloxane polymerization, silane crosslinker grafts on thermoplastic polymer in this identical operating process simultaneously, and then the reaction of the silane group of organosilicon polymer and thermoplastic polymer forms reactive copolymerization product.As in the first and the second route, the polymerization of annular siloxane can promote with catalyzer, typically after reclaiming reactive copolymerization product from reaction mixture, can randomly make polymer thermoplastic matrix crosslinked.
Although the equipment of preparation feedback blend and copolymerization product of being used for is not crucial to the present invention, typically these products prepare in the mixing device that can impose to reaction mixture shearing action.The example of mixing device is inner batch mixer, such as Banbury TMOr Bolling TMInternal mixer.Replacedly, can use continuous single screw rod or double-screw mixer, such as Farrel TMContinuous mixing device, Werner and Pfleiderer TMDouble-screw mixer or Buss TMMediate continuous extruder.The type of employed mixing tank and the operational condition of mixing tank will affect the character of composition, such as viscosity, volume specific resistance with extrude surface flatness.
The thermoplastic polymer that typically will comprise silane functionality is fed in the forcing machine, then annular siloxane is fed in the forcing machine, if use, ring opening catalyst and any other operable processing additives can be fed in the forcing machine.Make reaction mixture stand open loop condition, described condition comprises the temperature of thermoplastic polymer fusing point to 200 ℃ (for polyolefine), definite temperature depends on the quantity of different variablees, and a variable in the described different variablees is: open loop whether in mixing process, in the course of processing or occur in the last handling process.Pressure can be for subatmospheric to super-atmospheric pressure.In extruder, pressure can approach or (70 megapascal (MPa)s, mPa), and in uncovered batch mixer, pressure typically is environmental stress (0.1mPa) above 10,000psi.
If the Silane Grafted of thermoplastic polymer is carrying out in the annular siloxane open loop operation identical with polymerization, then this can be undertaken by one of following two kinds of methods.A kind of method is to use long forcing machine, and it is equipped with the Silane Grafted zone, then is that open loop/polyreaction is regional.Replacedly, Silane Grafted and organosilicon reaction can almost occur simultaneously.Yet from the position of technology control chemistry, preferred mode is to use to begin with silane-functionalised thermoplastic polymer, such as SI-LINK TMMultipolymer or PE-g-VTMS (with the polyethylene of vinyltrimethoxy silane grafting).
The content of annular siloxane in reaction mixture typically is 0.1 to 85 weight percent (wt%), is preferably 0.2 to 20wt%, based on the weight of reaction mixture.The content of thermoplastic polymer in reaction mixture typically is 15 to 99.9wt%, is preferably 10 to 95wt%, based on the weight of reaction mixture.If really exist, then the amount of catalyzer in reaction mixture is that 10 parts per 1,000,000 parts (ppm) are to 5wt%, based on the weight of reaction mixture.
In those situations, (for example namely in polyolefine-organosilicon reaction blend or multipolymer, expect the organosilicon of relative high-content, at least 5wt%, gross weight based on thermoplastic polymer and organosilicon polymer), can be desirably in and add more before the polycyclic organosilicon, the annular siloxane that adds many multiple doses with the dosage that allows the initial stage partly or entirely reaction advance in the system.This helps avoid a potential technique difficult problem relevant with a large amount of annular siloxane (it much is liquid).
Negatively charged ion or positively charged ion ring-opening polymerization can occur, and exist the kinetics of reaction product or the selection of thermodynamic control (by selecting organosilicon, catalyzer and other condition).According to the character of initiator, in the existence of active anion end group or non-existent situation, can form monohydroxy or dihydroxyl organosilicon.Therefore, the organosilicon that obtains and intermediate can be easy to participate in the functionalization and crosslinking reaction with the thermoplastic polymer of Silane Grafted.
In open loop/polymerization process, add organosilicon functional group and can be used for giving other character.The organosilicon that for example, can add some vinyl-functional is attached in the organosilicon polymer to promote peroxide crosslinking it.In addition, can provide end group, for example, shown in following equation.
Me 3SiOSiMe 3+n(Me 2SiO) 4→Me 3SiO(Me 2SiO) 4nSiMe 3
Wherein Me is methyl, and n is the add-on of annular siloxane.Me 3SiOSiMe 3With (Me 2SiO) 4Ratio determine the organosilyl stoichiometry that obtains, Me 3SiOSiMe 3(Me 2SiO) 4Total amount determine that organosilicon is with respect to the amount of thermoplastic polymer.
Branch point can be incorporated in the organosilicon polymer by adding T or Q group (the most frequently used polydimethylsiloxane is comprised of the D group as repeating unit).These groups such as following schematically showing.
